I don't remember hearing any noise, when I hit over 140 mph and many times at 120 mph.? My car was built Feb 27, 2004.

[/quote]cool. I feel better no need to explain to the dealer about the strange noise over 120 mph. The legal speed limit here is 65 mph

? i am having no luck with my service manager, he says he doesn't know anything about a defect on the windshield and that he asked bmw germany about it and they said it was probably just the door seals (big BS) and he is not really willing to ride with me at high speeds, nor drive my car that fast.
So, im stuck, i just dont want them to fix the door seals, and then come back to have the windshield repaired.
any suggestions? is there a technical document i should show him? many thanks!

Hey, I get the same annoying noise here. Friday I had it from the passenger seat and the rear, when I was driving through the mountains with my wife and her sister...

I can confirm whistling noise at 120 as well, I told my friend to expect it because I wasn't sure if my car had the issue. Very loud at 135. Probably won't get it fixed. I can see how this defect could be missed because of the way a robot installs the windshield at the factory. It was in the plant Virtual Tour.
As far as the passenger seat whine goes, duct tape?
